Group-Project of the Leibniz University

In many of our life or working situations we find an increasing amount of software-driven systems. These systems consist of many communicating, in future more and more autonomous, components. We call them ubiquitous cyber-physical systems. Ubiquitous means that the systems interact with the users in diverse ways. Cyber-physical means that these systems work on distributed machines like several cars on the street or gadgets in a smart home environment. Coordinating these complex systems challenges modern software developement.

What was the project about?

The project focused on refining and applying modeling techniques for the scenario-based developement of ubiquitous cyber-physical systems. This technique offers an intuitive, but at the same time precise approach for specifying complex interaction behaviors. On top of that we built a simulation tool and a pysical demonstration to execute scenarios on distributed robots as models at runtime. The robots communicate using IoT technologies.

Who did the project?

We are 14 computer science students from the Leibniz University Hannover. With different skillsets and interests, a productive mixture of abilities unfolded to tackle the task.
